About this map

Salem and its surrounding North Shore townships are captured here during a period of significant industrial and maritime activity. The map reveals a densely settled corridor along the Boston and Maine and its various branches, such as the Gloucester Branch, which connected coastal communities like Beverly Farms and Manchester to the major shipping hubs. Inland, the landscape is a mix of small village centers and agricultural land, dotted with institutional landmarks like Dummer Academy and the Insane Asylum near Danvers.
